Following yesterday's News on Trump's AI executive order, Sam Altman endorses a new executive order on AI, arguing the US should lead by building the best models, ensuring safety, and giving cyber tools to trusted defenders.

theUSshould lead on AI by continuing to develop the very best models, making sure they're safe, and getting cyber tools into the hands of trusted defenders. the new EO gets the balance right.

Ethan Mollick notes that superforecasters predicted 3-4 hour METR task horizons by year end, and Claude Mythos reached that in late May, ahead of schedule.

In early May, the best superforecasters predicted that, by the end of the year, the longest METR 80% task horizons would reach 3-4 hours. In late May, Claude Mythos achieved that number. t.co/7afQIkseQu

vLLM announces native integration of Intel AutoRound post-training quantization into vLLM-Omni, bringing 4-bit W4A16 to multimodal, diffusion image and video models, cutting Qwen3-Omni-30B from 66GB to 25GB with minimal quality loss and FLUX.1-dev down to a single GPU.

Intel's AutoRound post-training quantization is now integrated natively into vLLM-Omni, bringing W4A16 (4-bit) to Omni multimodal, diffusion image, and video models. It cuts Qwen3-Omni-30B from 66GB to 25GB with no quality cliff. Quantize once offline, then serve with the same command as the BF16 model. 📈 Highlights:
  • weights shrink to ~1/4 of BF16, dropping FLUX.1-dev from 4 GPUs (TP=4) to a single one
  • accuracy held on OmniBench, with ~1.3% drift on text-to-image
  • on Intel XPU B60, the fr

Clement Delangue argues that routing and post-training open-source models yields faster, cheaper, more private systems and disputes that frontier models are universally superior across all tasks.

Routing and post-training open-source models won't only give you more accurate systems but also meaningfully faster and cheaper systems as most companies are currently learning (in addition to giving you more control and privacy). The idea that a "frontier" model (by frontier we mean is slightly more accurate on a few very limited benchmarks) will be better for all domains, all tasks, all setups just doesn't hold up! It's marketing for making you pay more!

Nato Lambert reflects on a year building open models, arguing the US is behind and that few people genuinely advance open development despite saying they want to.

A key lesson of the last year of building open models, once it became so obvious the US is behind, is that talk is cheap. Many people say they're helping / want to help but actually don't do anything. Finding the few people who genuinely push open forward is crucial.

Ethan Mollick observes that most people, even accomplished ones, lack accurate mental models of LLMs, citing misconceptions about copying, averaging, and inability to generate new ideas.

Most people, including really accomplished people, don't have an accurate mental model of how LLMs operate (and why would they?) You see this in wide beliefs that AI is just copying from known sources, or that it only produces average answers, or that it can't generate new ideas
